So Mr Helmer what is Ukip’s stance on the welfare reform, particularly the spare bedroom subsidy! You seemed to praise it on Twitter while another Ukip MEP criticised it heavily? Are Ukip going to stick to their policy of promising everything to everyone? Are you up for a serious discussion?

As a UKIP member, I hope Roger is not against this policy per se, but against the crudely one-size-fits-all policy, which ignores the simple fact that it is not a black and white issue, and that while there are clearly people who should not be in the properties they occupy, there are a plethora of good reasons why many people should.

The way this policy has been implemented demonstrates two things: 1) The extent to which this government is out of touch with the realities of life for many of the country’s poorer people, and 2) That the government prefer the path of least resistance over more difficult but just routes, to address fundamental problems

Ukip have policies on every aspect of government. If you visit this link http://www.ukip.org/media/pdf/UKIPwelfare.pdf you will find their 2010 Welfare policy document, and I don’t think there is anything to annoy potential voters! In common with so much UKIP offers, much is liberally sprinkled with the common sense the Liberals, Conservatives, and Labour tend to ignore. I find UKIP concern themselves rightly with what the majority think and feel in 21st century Britain, which is the essence of democracy is it not? Anyway, enjoy the read!
